Amber Acid Application:
Succinic acid is mainly used in food,pharmaceutical and chemical industry.
Amber acid is used as acids for food industry, Succinic acid's sodium salt is a fine improvement agent of food flavor. Compared with glutamic acid and inosinic acid, Acid succinic's flavor is more tasty.
Succinic acid is a kind of basic raw material in organic chemical industry. In chemical industry, Succinellite is extensively used as PH adjuster for electroplate of aluminum products, and as plasticide, as well as in analyse reagent.
In pharmaceutical industry, Butanedioic acid is used in synthesis of diuretic,sedative,expectorant,vitamin,sulphanilamide, etc. Succinic acid’s also widely used as growth hormone of plant.
Amber succinic acid can be converted to fumaric acid by oxidation.
Packing and Storage:
Compound fraft paper bag, 25kg per bag or 500kg net in plastic woven bag lined with PE bag. Kept in a well-closed, dry and cool place.
